Substituting u=x3u=x^3 turns the integral into 13∫tan⁡−1u1+u2 du\frac13\int\dfrac{\tan^{-1}u}{1+u^2}\,du, which is a direct tan⁡−1\tan^{-1}-times-its-own-derivative form, giving [tan⁡−1(x3)]26+C\dfrac{[\tan^{-1}(x^3)]^2}{6}+C.

We need ∫x2tan⁡−1(x3)1+x6 dx\displaystyle\int \dfrac{x^2\tan^{-1}(x^3)}{1+x^6}\,dx.

Step 1: Substitute u=x3u=x^3. Then du=3x2 dxdu=3x^2\,dx, so x2 dx=du3x^2\,dx=\dfrac{du}{3}. Also x6=u2x^6=u^2, so 1+x6=1+u21+x^6=1+u^2.

∫x2tan⁡−1(x3)1+x6 dx=∫tan⁡−1u1+u2⋅du3=13∫tan⁡−1u1+u2 du\int \dfrac{x^2\tan^{-1}(x^3)}{1+x^6}\,dx = \int \dfrac{\tan^{-1}u}{1+u^2}\cdot\dfrac{du}{3} = \dfrac13\int \dfrac{\tan^{-1}u}{1+u^2}\,du

Step 2: Substitute v=tan⁡−1uv=\tan^{-1}u. Then dv=du1+u2dv=\dfrac{du}{1+u^2}, so the integral becomes: …
